I needed to get out! It looked as though there might be a nice sunset and we like the Fish and Chips at Beales in Porthcawl. A plan was hatched. I would go ahead and do a bit of scouting – after having got the best location for the sunset (I thought) from The Photographer’s …
To start a few posts from our recent trip to Norway, I’m including some sunrises and sunsets. Above is a sunset with some wonderful clouds above a snowy landscape. Then below a couple of shots of one of the many bridges that span the fjords and channels which are high enough to allow the Hurtigruten …
I had a fair idea we were going to have a reasonably good sunset and after checking my Photographers Ephemeris worked out that Cot Valley would give me a good shot. Two other photographers must have thought the same, I was not alone. The three shots below although they are of the same scene show …
Almost a political post this time, but perhaps timely this week. Looking for lights whilst down The Bay before Christmas, the only really good one was the sunset that kindly performed for me. Here are two shots taken looking towards Penarth. The first from beside where the Doctor Who Experience used to be, the second …
A fun start to the new year, with a few shots from the old one. We were on a mission … to find the Christmas lights in Cardiff Bay. The only problem, there weren’t any! So I looked around for a) something Christmassy, and b) something unusual. The first photo hits both categories as it …
I couldn’t let the sunsets of this week wait until the sequence of scheduled shots that are due to appear on this blog over the next few weeks have finished, so please excuse this exceptional blog post of images with exceptional colours. The first image was taken on Tuesday evening after Jenny phoned me and …
Some experiments with graduated filters and HDR photography. Three images taken, one +2.0EV, another -2.0EV and then these merged in Lightroom. One problem was that I just couldn’t seem to get the exposure right, which turned out to be that I was using spot metering. Duh!
This is the pier at Glenelg, at sunset. Arriving back from Alice Springs quite late in the afternoon we didn’t know what to do, but our son advised us to jump on a tram and head for Glenelg – so we did. As it was getting dark, we just took the NEX-6 in case we could take …
Another couple of images of Kata Tjuta and Uluru (below) at sunset. It’s a really special place and the light is amazing.
What a trip this fifth visit to Australia has been (the seventh for Jenny). Not content with my Photo Workshop with Tom Putt to The Kimberley in the north-west, the two of us went with Wayoutback Safaris to “The Red Centre”. Here’s the first of a series of images from that trip. I’ll share another …
